Hitachi CX1800

The Hitachi CX1800 crawler crane is engineered for heavy-duty lifting tasks, with a rated maximum load capacity of 180 tons at a 5.0-meter working radius. Its versatile design enables it to handle a wide range of lifting configurations, with a basic boom length of 18 meters, which can be extended up to 87 meters. A jib ranging from 13 to 37 meters allows for an extended total boom length of up to 124 meters, making it suitable for operations requiring high reach and extended lifting capabilities.

Equipped with an Isuzu A-6RB1T engine, this crawler crane delivers 221 kW (300 PS) at 2000 rpm, ensuring strong and consistent power output for demanding operations. The crane offers dual hoisting speeds for the main and auxiliary drums, with options of 110, 62, and 31 m/min. The boom hoist operates at a speed of 27 m/min using two drums, ensuring smooth and efficient lifting processes. Additionally, its slewing system provides rotational control at 1.9 rpm in high speed and 1.1 rpm in low speed, allowing for precise load placement.

For mobility, the CX1800 features travel speeds of 1.2 km/h at high speed and 0.8 km/h at low speed, combined with a 30% (16°) gradeability, allowing it to navigate uneven or inclined job sites with ease. The crane’s ground pressure is rated at 89.2 kPa (0.91 kgf/cm²), ensuring stable operation even on soft ground.

With an operating weight of 168 tons, the Hitachi CX1800 is a robust machine designed for large construction projects. Its comprehensive safety features and high lifting performance make it ideal for infrastructure, industrial construction, and heavy-lift applications where precision and reliability are critical.
